There were half a dozen infestations reported from around the country last week.  Obviously the season for the ermin moth.  The Bradford parks dept. are leaving them alone for the birds to clear up which is a good way of dealing with it.

I'm overjoyed with the lack of Cabbage whites this year.  ;D ;D ;D I can only thank last winters icy blast.   Let's have more like it if we have this situation.    Cheers,   Tony.
